1 House 1 FC per DC Only

[Jojoya]

How about people just stop ruining the game instead of asking for a server infrastructure that is not worth upgrading to for SE ? Try using your head instead of complaining because people want things to be done more equally. They really should limit FCs at the very least and wipe the slate clean for FCs that took over a whole ward. Can't believe people manage to incorporate the worst of capitalism inside a video game.

Strange that you believe an upgrade to the server infrastructure isn't worth it for them when they already announced a major multi-million dollar infrastructure upgrade last year that's to be rolled out over the next few years. At the very least the amount of housing will be getting increased via the new worlds being added though they also said the upgrade was going to include more than just the worlds and logical data centers.

Not certain why you consider requests for SE to address the supply issue as "ruining the game".

Nothing is being incorporated into the game that isn't being allowed by SE through their game design. They're the ones who decided multiple house ownership both past and present is not a problem.

And it's surprising that you don't realize for some people personal greed is always going to win out over community considerations. Games like this are vehicles to indulge in dreams and fantasies that not every can make happen in real life.

What would be nice is for SE to consider that when working on their game design so every player gets the same access regardless of what other players do. There's no limit on how many players can participate in Savage raiding. Why should there be a limit on how many players can own a house?

The problem is not the FC having multiple houses. The problem is the way housing is done in the game.

If they can do instanced apartments, they can do instanced housing. Just change the mesh from a box to an outside property. And activate them only when there is someone inside the property. Someone want to visit you, is as simple as Go to X home. No need to go to a ward and move around finding the place.

My guess they don't do it for fear of breaking things. That's what open beta servers are for. To test things until they are right for the production server.

There was a podcast from one of the Taiwanese publisher telling the story why FF14 end up at China instead of Taiwan.
The main reason Taiwan publisher has to gave up is due to the infrastructure of FF14 servers is too complex, costly and requires a lot physical space.
They found out at last minutes before signing the contract.

This is not some fresh new publisher, this is the same Taiwanese publisher that is hosting Traditional Chinese version of WoW.
In which they have the technology to host WoW but they can't because of frustrating FF14 server structure complexity.
The problem is not something that can be solved by buying more servers.
The core of problem is their fundamental server instructure and SE knew that

Its been said time and again the backbone of this game is a complete mess.

Still quite a few problems going on, and yes I know multiple people who want to exploit the new servers with getting more... and if I know a few... uh since I don't know that many people, then I can only see problems ahead, like it or not.

We are going to see the next generations of Ship/Submercible farms, which you in ways easy enough can compare to NFT mining farms today in a figure of speech.

[Siniztor]

I'm not making excuses for anyones failures. How is it Yoshi's fault that server hardware is just about impossible to get a hold of?
Do you realise that sometimes there is no clear easy solution, or simply sometimes the answer is just no.
They try to supply us but its slow going. Could the design have been done better? perhaps but we simply dont know

Yes Hard ware is so hard to get that the next patch Se is giving everyone there own private INSTANCE farm island... Which dose things houses can't do like fre roaming pets...

The masses would of been alot happier if instead of farmland private islands they did instance housing been arguing this for years upon years

The optimist in me believes that this is to test the waters for instanced housing (it's probably going to crash and be super buggy at the start ISLANDS)
The realist in me knows this is just going to be throw-away content and we will keep dealing with this shitty housing system until the game dies.

Sounds like jealousy that you didnt took the opportunity to do the same.

That is a weak statement, that has nothing to do with the actual problem, and if you must know I got 4 ships and 4 subs in my FC so I know well what it all is about, but the entire thread is about that hording houses on other servers which create a problem.

[CatStarwind]

It is not only "cool" but it is completely and utterly within the rules.

Only with multiple service accounts or across worlds. If it's in the same world and on the same service account then it breaks the rules and TOS.
